Shipping
Dimensional Weight Calculator
Compute the billable weight of a shipment as the greater of actual weight or dimensional (volumetric) weight, using the carrier-specific DIM divisor. Useful for FedEx, UPS, USPS, and DHL parcels where bulky-but-light packages get charged on volume rather than mass.

Shipping
Dimensional Weight Calculator
Calculate the billable weight of a package as the greater of actual weight or dimensional weight (L × W × H / carrier divisor). Use it to predict what carriers will actually charge you for shipping — especially important for bulky-but-light packages where dimensional weight dominates.
